SEPTEMBER FLOWER EVENT

Gods Flower Transport 


                                 A photo of the Freedom Petals truck filled with our beautiful bouquets ready to leave for Walter Reed and Fisher House.  I don't know what we would do without the angels that have blessed this ministry.  Without the incredible talent and giving volunteers Freedom Petals Inc. wouldn't be starting its' 6th year of bringing smiles to our wounded warriors through flowers.

                                 The September event was nothing less than a humbling experience.  The delivery was quiet, respectful and magical as usual.  Fisher House was so appreciative for the bowl size vases packed with fall colors.  The flowers were so beautiful and fresher than usual thanks to Trader Joe's Reston.  Anne Harvey from the Herndon Florist donated dry cat tails and fall leaves for this event.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  We had lots of volunteers came out for this event.....my regular Friday team out shined themselves and the Saturday group worked hard on the large vases for the Hospital Chapel and nurses stations.  Thanks to Joan who attended the delivery.
